RUST PREVENTING AND REMOVING COMPOSITION.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 719,190, dated. January27 1903. Applioationfiled September 16, 1902. Serial No. 123,687. (Nospecimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

Bei't known that I, SAMUEL T. COFFING, a citizen of the United States,residing at Attica, county of Fountain, and State of Indiana, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Rust Preventing andRemoving Compositions, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to greases and heavy oils; and the object thereofis to prevent and remove rust and to brighten the tool or piece of metalon which it has been applied. It is especially adapted for use on sawsof all descriptions.

My composition consists of the following ingredients, combined in theproportions stated, viz: beeswax, one part; beef tallow, two parts;sperm-oil, one and one-half parts, and pulverized pumice-stone one-halfpart.

In compounding the above ingredients the beeswax, beef-tallow, andsperm-oil are first put in a pot over a moderately-hot fire and boiled,stirring continually until all are thoroughly incorporated. It is thenremoved from the fire, and while cooling the pumicestone is fed to themixture slowly, stirring all the while, until the pumice-stone isthoroughly mixed with the greases. It may 'now be put up in small boxesfor retail or in large tins for wholesale purposes.

My composition may be applied with the fingers, with a brush, or with acloth and rubbed until the pumice-stone and grease have removed therust. It may also be applied to tools and other metal articles and leftthereon, so as to prevent rust.

By using the above compound on saws and other tools they are lubricatedand kept from rusting at all times and under all atmosphericalconditions.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The herein described composition of matter, consisting-of beeswax,beef-tallow, sperm-oil and pulverized pumice-stone, substantially asdescribed.

2. The herein described composition of matter for polishing and removingrust on metal, consisting of one part beeswax, two parts beef -tallow,one and one-half parts sperm-oil, and one-half part pulverizedpumice-stone, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of tWowitnesses.

SAMUEL T. COFFING.
